Chee pricked her ears. She had heard a rustling in the long grass. Nose twitching in excitement, she stalked forward, making sure she kept as low as possible; her long legs almost guarenteed she was to be seen by both prey and cat alike if she wasn't body-concious.
I think...I think it's a rat, she thought and she stalked forward even more toward the noise, but it's rustling is far too loud...Is it stuck down a hole or something?
She was just about to peer through the grasses to inspect what the rustling was, and suddenly a bundle of brown and white fur with legs jumped straight up, startling her. Her brain had only moments to register it was a very young rabbit, before one of the still-airborne rabbit's flailing panicking legs kicked her in the jaw and take off in a blind run. She stumbled back a pawstep, recovering from the shock of the kick quickly, and tore after the offending rabbit with determination.
"How dare you!" she yowled after it, "you will regret that, rodent!"
She ran faster, and zero'ed in on it's rump. She became blind and deaf to alll things around her but the rabbit's bouncing hind legs and flagging white cottontail.
